I need help with my eyes?

Question

I am not writing this for any of you to feel sorry for me.
I just need and answer to this.
I was born Premature, so The chances I would have a problem with me was positive. They found a problem with my right eye.
They attempeted 6 surgereys cause apprently i was losing vision with that eye, but the retnia detached and I haven't been able to see out of that eye since then, plus The pupil turned in a bit.
I'm not hadicapped or anything but the people at my school always treat me like that. They also tease me about my glasses and constantly look at me closely and ask what the hell is wrong with me. My eye doctor told me that there was a surgerey avalible to striaghten my eye and look "normal," But My mom Is forcing me to wait till next year to get it done
All I'm asking is that i need a way to deal with the teasing
with the upcoming school year cause I've just about had it with the people that tease me everyday.

Answer 1

This is much more a stupid people problem than your eye problem.
Your school authorities should be coming down on bullying and discriminatory behaviour like a ton of bricks.
Unfortunately there is no corrective surgery for unthinking cruelty (except drastic surgery done very badly: don't tempt me!)

Yes, surgery to cosmetically correct a squint is available, but with no useful vision in the right eye, there is a chance it could drift out of position again over the years, and there are limits to how many times it can be re-set.

Do you wear spectacles? There are non-surgical cosmetic options both with spectacles and contact lenses, though the latter require a specialised practitioner and would not be cheap.

Thick glasses. I still remember the teasing)

Answer 2

Just tell them the truth.
I have a similar problem with 'premature-birth blindness,' and I have figured out that it is just easier to tell them the truth. Say something like "I was born prematurely, so I have some eyesight problems that hopefully I can get fixed."
Short, true, and painless.

Good luck with the surgery.

Answer 3

Dont ever lose hope! With medicine advancing so fast everything is possible. I was teased too when I was a kid. It is going to make you stronger and build character. Just tell them it is better to have problem with your eyes than your brains. Remember, one day you will fix your problem and you'll get the last laugh! Best of luck to you...

Answer 4

Don't listen to them! My mom always says if people tease you that means they are just jealous! Just ignore them eventually they'll get tired of talking and wasting their breath if u aren't listening!
